Guys, i'm looking to buy a NEX -5 with dual kit.. But, seeming the price.. i might go for a dslr.. I am kind of noob here..But, really interested in photography and i am kind of an all rounder.. I love to take shot at wedding too...

so, do you think NEX 5 is already okay, or i'll shoot go for DSLR instead?

@chiahau: yeah..rite? but still.. i've read better not go for a sony alpha dslr cuz they might not continue with dslr and focus on nex.. Canon or nikon is no problem for me but.. there am i again.. confuse whether i should go for a dslr or nex instead... sigh..


Added on December 22, 2010, 9:38 am@Jurlique: i've search some of them on the net.. but most of the comment are like fanboys(either hate it or love it too much)..

plus, from what i've collected:

ease of use: nex
quality of pic : draw or some mid-end dslr or all high end dslr
learning curve: nex
customisation: dslr
full control : dslr

but how about future proof(from lens price, accessory and variability)?

i am a NEX owner, just want to share my opinion smile.gif

customization and control its easy now via update firmware v03  smile.gif

all those review are firmware v01-02, at that moment its really quite inconvenient to customise...  but after update, change ISO, WB, HDR, Creative style(color tone) is very easy, not nid to go intoooooooo the menu anymore laugh.gif

disadvantage to be note of :

1. lens availability
2. OOF cant notice by the screen  doh.gif  (i don see others hv this problem, but it occurs to me few times already)
3. battery life (get at least 1 stand by battery, AT LEAST 1)
4. nex 3 easily scratch... nex 5 don't hv this prob...

but so far, i am really satisfy with it, especially low light performance and panorama function  drool.gif

you totally make me wanna buy the nex now.. lol..
i am really considering on buying the nex 5~ hurm.. so, which package is okay? 18-55mm or the dual lens? i read some good reviews on 18-55mm but not so much for the pancake 16mm.. The pancake is just for portability right? No extra effect on picture?

i'm also getting the nex.. but as all these expert are saying we should get the dual lens.. So we can get the most of the nex on purchase that is portability + nice zooming capability..

and sony does offer 0% installment.. for nex 5 with dual lens is about 2++ amonth for a year.. the max is 2 years...
